Product details
This laser collimator allows you to determine whether your Newtonian is collimated or not, and to re-collimate it quickly and very precisely!
Particularly suitable for Newton Skywatcher, Celestron, TS, GSO, etc..
What are the advantages of this collimator over others?
- The collimator is made entirely of metal; once you collimate your telescope with this laser, it will not lose collimation very easily.
- VERY IMPORTANT! The laser can be re-collimated. If it loses its collimation, you can restore it.
- You will have a 45° view of the light returning to your laser, for maximum comfort
- Long 31.8mm barrel to prevent movement inside the focuser
- Light intensity adjustable in 7 different positions
What if my newton is open? No problem!
Very open Newtonians (F/4) have an offset on the secondary, that is, the secondary is not perfectly centered but slightly shifted to best illuminate the field.
This is not a problem with a laser collimator!
The 45° section allows the collimation of large instruments even by a single person!
The 45° section allows a correct and comfortable view of the collimation of your telescope, even if it is large.
This way, only one person will be needed to collimate the instrument.
A Quick Guide to Collimation with the Artesky LA2-AR Laser Collimator
Preparation:
- Position the focuser upwards and pull it out to your focus position.
- Insert the laser collimator into the focuser keeping the 45° section facing you.
Secondary collimation:
- Turn on the Artesky laser collimator, the red dot must be in the center of the round reference positioned on the primary mirror.
- Use the secondary adjustment screws to position the laser dot in the center of the primary reference.
Primary collimation:
- The red laser dot reflected on the 45° section must be in the center of the hole.
- Using the primary adjustment screws, you need to move it to the correct position.
Now your Newtonian telescope is properly collimated and you can take full advantage of it!
A CR 2023 battery is required
